It was Gen. RICH.

Count ZBNOBIO has thought proper to contra dict a report, given by Mr. GOLDSMITH, stating, th at LUCIEN RIJONAPaRTE poisoned his first wile. the report, however, has been generally preva lent on the Continent, =Lail that the Count al leges in.opposition to it that he was in Paris when she died ; that he heard she died .of a de cline, and did not heOr that her death was imputed to the former, cause. If she Count thinks proper to distrust the report upon such grounds, he must olier something rather stronger to make the world Of -the same opinion. ,If Ferdinand VII. marries a-Princess of Austria, 'et him beware of the delusive promises of Buona- Parte ; The psople•of England, with their ,charac • tetistic kindness to foreigners, will allow him_ to ° bare in the permanent smiles of fo;tune in this ountry', now submitted by the State Lbitery,• to be• drawn in one day, on an entirely new plan, ontarn February next, containing' forty-tour capital Prizes, tour of which are twenty thousand pounds each. The recent revolution in the province of Cartha-: tena, in South America, seeps to have assumed a ticgrce of consistence, which is nit to be tound either in the insurrection in the Caraccas or in that at Bue nos A) res. The leaders j in the new proceedings apr Pear to act upon a most extensive scale—then - pro ieet oeing no less than to ered a new and inde- Pendent 'State, under the title of " The Kingdom ranada." The advantages of inland navigation, by reducing the price of can iage, and enabling the hush.indinan 41 1 d manufacturer to send their goods cheapi-r to loatket, appear to be appreciated, not only in this Country, but in Russia, where a line of canals, Planned during the life-time of Peter the Great; has r ecently been completed, by which it is possible to vonvey goods by water near 4,500 miles, with only ?fle interruption of about 60 miles. This amazing length, of which no other country in the globe can Perhaps boast, t,egins at Petersburg!), and extends t o the !Kitters or China. A Mr. Manning is now at Canton, in China, and has been there five years, learning the language in the dress of the country, with a view to penetrate to the interior. He is an able man, and has - so ; Wanted hirnellf to the manners and feelings of the Chinese, that be is scarcely to be distinguished from the natives, even by natives. ATTEMPT AT So LClDE.—Saturday morning a gen tleman was observed by some labourers employed 1 11 Chelsea Fields, walking backwards and forwards 41 1 a hurried and disorderly manner, and sour) after wards they were alarmed 'by the repot t of a pistol corning from the quintet - where they l.ad just before teen him. On going to the spot tln-y discovered ina lying on the ground reloading the pistol, which appeared he had just before discharged at his head, UUt without etfe6t, the Intl living only slightly grazed his forehead. t He was imtnediately diSarm- Q ( 1 , and on inquiry proved to be a gentleman of con siderable property, residing in the neighbourhood, Wll O had for some time past been in a desponding w ay, owing to the death of his wife, who unfortn- Ntely tell a sacrifice to her cloaths accideutaiiv c atching tire. Letters from St. Bartholomew stata, that owin g t some arbitrary atis of Government, a revolution had taken place there. The Judge of the island ; VaitosTEnz, his wife, Principal Secretary, servants, ° 4 ,,e. had been sent off, and had atrived at Salerti.— 'ln embargo had been imposed upon all shipping. An inquest was hell on Friday at the Barley -116%. public-house, in Mount -street, on the body c 't Mrs. Jones, wife of Mr. Jones, apothecary, in same street. It appeared in evidence, that the r.Qt:ea!ied had been in a bad state of health for sortie "ne past; and Mr. Jones's daughter, who was very : I '4ch afflicted with the rheumatism, ha..l been in r l 'e habit or taking laudanum ; one o f t he se r v ant s ~I " theitently removed the bottle to her mistre ss ' s "'amber, which, in the course of the ni g ht, th e t ''se gave to the deceased in a mistake, instead of "e regular medicine. The Jury returned a l erdi6t 4 cciduntal Death. AMERIa44. THE PROVINCE. OF CARTHAGEI(A (OF THE INDIES) TO THE OTHER PROVINCES OF TIDE NEW KINGDOM OF GRANADA. " The justidebron`r complaints, tree publicity of our operatlous, and the frankness and soheitilde with which we (rave taken care to commUniCate them to ail the Gibtldos of the kiugdoni, ekonerate us, dear coontrythen, frow malkiog a proliit relation of he Inea,ures which we have peculiarly adopted to protect ourselves froth the horrible extremes of des potism; or of anarchy, into which Spanish America must doubtless hav e fallen, from the moment, al ready too probable, of the althost total subjugation of tire mother country by the anus of the tyrant 61 Europe " But this port, like Atalaya, situated on the sea coast, haS had the opportunity, of learning, before any other province in the kiogdotit, the progress or the iemission of the evils which the Peinnsula sof ferS., and has benable so to conduct its Opeiations As to guard against being involved in the ruin which threatened it. It was in constVence of this, that, from the time a new chief, sent to this city by the Central Junta, without any other title but a simple order; began to manifest his despotic principles, his oppressive condO, and his conception (publicly proclaimed) thaCterroiisAt was the Most efficacious means to keep the, people quiet, from that very time our illustrious Cirbi(do began to restrain him", and to let him know that in consequence of the cir cumstances in which Spain was placed, and 'the alarming progress of the enemy, the tranquility and confidence of the people demanded the adoption of measures of security, of which it would neVer feel convinced without the participation of the munici pal authorities in all branches of the public admini stration, which were exclu-iively conducted by him self. The Governor agreed to a system prescribed, in substance, by, our municipal litws but he quick ly broke the oath by which lie bound himself, and had the audacity to give the lie, by his condom, to the recognition which with apparent cheerfulness he made before the whole people assembled in front of the Consistorial Hall. '" In consequence of these proceedings,.t be objeet of which was to tyrannise over the inhabitants, the illustrious. Cabildo and our ordinary Magistrates pro ceeded to pronounce his deposition - froth the Go vernment, and agreed to send him back to the Re gency, with -a succina exposi:ion of the weighty reasons which obliged them to have recourse to a measuse so extreme." The Address then proceeds • to detail the grafi& catiotrand confidence which this measure produced among the people, and the various steps adopted, by the Cabildos in cons , qu.ence thereof. On•the system of their future Goveinmem they thus ex press themselves :—" What system cart a people de sire who have groaned 'under d spotism, and ail, utter neded of their interest and prosperity, but that which may unite two most pre.iote; adran !ages—that of enjoying a liberty secured by law, and the power of immediately . attending to, by 'themselves, all the branches of their internal admi 'stration ! The federative system is the (July one' suitable to the kingdom, the population of which 'is sd dispersed, and•which is of much greater ex tot than all Spain." The Kleantag,es attending this systiqu they describe to be, the more easy: and ex peditidus att:iinment of justlie, and deciiion of law suits ; every pt . ( Once will measure its wants by its ; and 'plans for roads and carals, hitherto, necde6ted, will be more effzittuisily carried into ex ecution. " But," they go on to observe, " internal dis putes would not fail to arise between adjoining pro vinces, each of which wool 3 also be weak of itself and exposed to foreign subjugation, if a federation. of all the provinces, by mratts of deputies forming a representative body, did not form a common cen tre of union and of strength ; a body which should exercise the legislative power in all matters of general interest ; which st_rould settle the contribu tions or contingent which each province should fur nish, either in men or money, for the common de fence ; and which should establish the executive power under such limitations as might be _deemed necessary." They object, however, to the formation of any interim Government, on the principle that the dif ferent provinces are at present fully competent to the management of their own internal affairs ; " and because to form an interim Government by convoking a deputy from each province, would tie doing the very identical thing that had been done in Spain by the formation of the Central Junta, and would, in consequence, expose us to similar v.'eigh ty inconveniences. All those who, by perusing the Journals and Gazettes of oivr times, particularly the foreign ones, bare fUllowed the steps of the dis astrous irruption of the Drench into Spain, are able to judge what errors and disorders have been attri buted to the Central Junta, even by the Marquis of Romana, one of its Members ; and Y.. hat replesen tations weir made by the Marqilis Wellesley, the British Ambassador, in order that another form of Government might be adopted. In these, he attri buted all the disasters which the Spanish nation has suffered, to the vices inherent in a body of thirty members, which could neither be called the repre sentatives of the nation, nor an executive, which by the unity of its acts' could secure the respect and obedience of those who were to execute its orders." With regard to the place for holding the General Congress of the kingdom, they think that Antio quia or Medellin are the places pointed out for that' purpose, by their position and other circumstances. " The latter city, with a population of id or 18,000 souls, its temperature equal to that of Guaduas, and is proposition almost in the centre of the kingdom, seemed peculiarly adapted for the assemblage of the Deputies: The mild and peaceful manners by which the Province . of Aniioquia was distinguished, made it peculiarly eligible for the residence of a Body to whom tranquil►ty and full security were especially necessary, at a time when the conditions and limits of the federation of the Provinces were about to be established. " Such is the . frank exposition of what the Pro vince of Cartiuigena has thought necessary at th e present crisis. It cA•dially communicates its ideas . . to the other Provitrtts, not with a Wish that th 4 should be implicitly followed, but that they may be freely examined by all ; and that such an inter change of sentiment may take place among the Pro vinces, that the system which suits the majority may be finally adopted.

HARRY CALVERT, Adj. Gen. On Monday, at the High Court of Justiciary in E linburgh, Waiter Itedpath, grocer, of FOrd Path head, was tried tor thefnurder of Andrew M`Kech nie, of the same place. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased occupied premises adjoining those of the prisoner, in which he had made some altera tions without his consent ; ttsat the deceased threw up a trench which completely stoppei the path to the prisoner's stable ; that a quarrel ensued, in which the deceased struck the prisoner a vi o l ent blow with a sti c k ; th a t t h e prisoner then seized a loaded musket, which, whether by accident or de- . sign was not apparent, went oil, and occasioned his immediate death. The Jury, after some consi deration, returned a verdict or Culpalle homicide, and the prisoner was sentenced to be transpJrted for life. Thursday a respectable looking man went into a silversmith's shop in the city, and purchased a few articles to the amount of 61. for which fie gave a draft on a banker, which was duly honoured. The next evening he called, complimented the tradesman on his fair dealing, and looked out goods to the amount of t5Ol. and particularly desired they might be delivered that evening, as he was going to have a large party to supper. The tradesman suspecting his customer, said it was impossible to comply with his request. The purchaser appealed very much vexed, and left the shop abruptly, saying he would elll the next day, which•he net er did. The trades man made inquiry of the banker, who informed him it was well he did not take the second check, as. the drawer was a perfect stranger, and that all the cash bad been drawn out excepting fifteen shillings. On Wednesday night last, Britwell-house, near Burnham, in Boashire, belonging to the flan.

The thieves escaped, and have not since been !turd et. 4). xaGsraiv, 8t PT. it It „ appears th a t Buonaparte's plans against the Spanish dominions in America have not had' that happy issue which he contemphted, and that his stratagems have not produced ihe least effcCt on the loyalty of the Spanish Americans, which is not inferior to that which the inhabit:wig of the Pe ninsula have manifested for their Sdvereign Ferdi nand Three Americans, and a Spaniard called Blanco, spies or emissaries Buonapirte, hate been ana rested at Chihuagna, by Dun Netnesio Saicedo, in consequence of the seasonable ;I(l6c:es high the Viceroy of Mexico, corinnunicated to that Corn, mandanr, General of the said Pro, ince, that these persons had arrived at Upper Louisiana from Bal timore, and were going to the town of Santa Fe. These four individuals were ttatelling with two negro slaves among the Indian tribes subject to the province, without any passport train the Spanish Authorities of Ferdinand VII. from the place. whence they proceeded, which is indispensably cessary in order to enter the doinalions without being considered as a spy : there were bound in their possession a paper wratett iii English, aria a letter from the Curate of St. Genevieve io France, also ihineen fire-arms, six ci.olasses, three axes, and fiVe flasks of powder. In their first declara tion they stated, that the object of their journey from Upper Louisiana was no other Jinn ; o estate blish themselves in the dam mons of his M tjesty• Ferdinand VIE, to whom they were greatly attacli= ed; as if persons going from Arnerict to the Spanish possessions were ignoraat that it i s r ep site to h ave permission from Gnvernmenr, and the necessary passports from the established aui horines, to obtain au entrance into the Spanish territories. They were immediately cond:ictedto the Castle of St. Elecar iio for trial, and it will not belong before they will suffer the. punishment due to such traitors, accord ing to tile strict orders of the Council of Regency flo Spain and the Indies, that in cases .ot this nae lure justice should not be delayed, in order to purg the Spanish soil of such vermin. The vigilance of the Spaniards to prevcni French emissaries from being introduced into Cuba is very great : at Ma tanzas they seized a Mr. Bacon, supercargo of an Anielieau vessel, and confined him in the fort, on account of his having no passport from America, signed by • the Chief Magistrate of a city or town, and certified by the SOanisii Consul. ' He was, however, released the folloa ing day,, at the inter cession of a Spaniard who wasacquainted with him ; and avowed that his, views were not hostile when he entered into bond to quit the place immediately in the same schooner, and departed in a very few days after. The Governors of the West India Islands have been apprised by Mr. Jackson, the late British Mi nister in America, that French emissaries had ar rived in the United States, and were to proceed in American.vessels to the Spanish colonies, with or ders under the sign manual of Ferdinand VII. di recting the Governors of those provinces to place them in the hands of !he French, in order to their being by them preserved for the use of their legi timate Sot ereign, to whom it would seem Buon4• parte has promised to restore and guarantee the regal sway of these Transatlantic Dominions, on the sett leineht of the affairs of Spain. The Ameri• can vessels, in which these agents are to be conveyed to the Spanish settlements, are furnished with li censes to transport their produce, &c. through the United States to France. We are further informed, that Mr. Jackson requests, if possession can be obtained of any such licenses, they may be trans. mined to him, as they will answer a particular purpose. The three oldest inhabitants of Carrickfergus, whose united ages make "280, died lately on the same day (the 9th ult.) Their names and ages were-- John Connor, aged 101 ; Margret 111`Gill„ gg ; Agnes Addison, 80. Thomasin Robinson, who died in Sandgate, New castle, on Saturday se'nnight, aged I I l years, had the misfortune, when upwards of 100 years old, to break her thigh bone, and recovered perfedly of the accident. • The coach with the London mail arrived at Mil ford on Thursday without coachman or guard. It appears they got down about two m:les distant, in order to light one of the coach lamps, which bad blown out, when the horses took fright, and could not be overtaken ; and although they came in at fill gallop, reached the Nehon Hotel in safety, without coming in contad with the corner, in getting into the yard. .A Gentleman who was in the coach, leaped out on its approaching the church.
